Johnny de Courcy (2014)

Vancouver, BC

The soulful rock-and-roll of this West Coast juggernaut is a panorama of contrasts: thoughtful and tremulous; delicate, yet road-hardened. Ex-Black Wizard guitarist Johnny de Courcy brings his perfectionist tendencies to a new discipline with his latest musical enterprise. Paired with the clean lines of his Death Rangers band, de Courcy’s dulcet tones carve a path through the canyons of Canadian paisley-punk. Teenage angst doesn’t stand a chance when faced with the self-satisfaction of de Courcy’s cri de coeur.
